It’s been Tuffty Time again in the garden.
I managed to miss it (this is Mrs.N’s video), because due to our hard living lifestyle I was having a nap…

It’s to reassure folks travelling upstairs that there’s a good reason why they’ll be getting damp.

They’re back!
I suspect the disheveled fur is due to their technique of access the nuts…they’re using their head

They’re not uncommon around Grasmere where we’re staying. We’ll keep our eyes peeled around the same time tomorrow morning (and report further activity)

It’s was a bit like the Kit Kat panda. We’re watching the birdfeeder, I go for a shower and the red squirrel makes an appearance. I return, and it’s gone. It’s Mrs.N’s video.
